let's start with the chuck hagel filibuster situation. senator mitch mcconnell said, i think the president is entitled to an up or down. that is simple majority vote on nominations, both to his cabinet and to the executive branch and also to the judiciary, clearly the republicans have somewhat changed their tune on the that. but if we do see, as we're seeing now, a sort of filibuster on nominees is this going to be the new normal now in washington? >> the consistency is not a virtue any longer, but what i'm surprised about with respect to the senate actions here, i serve there had the last 189 years, left two years ago, i served with chuck hagel, he served there 12 years and i'm very surprised that people who served with him in his own caucus, he caucused with them every week, they know him as a squad leader and infantry man who was twice wounded, he has two purple hearts by the way. they're suggesting somehow he's unworthy? it's unbelievable to me, every time you think this is sort of the nth degree of gridlock, i hope you dpind enough r

will chuck hagel be damaged as defense secretary if there are 15 or more no votes? >> absolutely not. i appreciate the history lesson that the senator has given us but he should also take and find out what is going on in the senate. it would be more helpful for him to work on fixing the senate than working on the selection of the president of the united states. people need to understand, you serve at the pleasure of the president. so all of this uproar about chuck hagel and what he said and what he hasn't said does not matter. he works for president barack obama who is very clear on his policy as it relates to israel. >> chip, senator richard shelby joined ted cochran and mike johans in supporting hagel's nomination. we already new about susan collins and lisa murkowski expected to go along and vote to end the filibuster next week. so why keep fighting? i mean, the sequester, busy.ation, guns, you wou this is one of their jobs. and to confirm cabinet nominees. look, i think what we know is that hagel will be confirmed. i think what we all know there are a lot of rep

this is a vote to end the republican filibuster on chuck hagel's nomination to be the next secretary of defense. ten days ago we had the same exact vote and it failed. republicans, enough republicans blocked it so that the filibuster continued. but democrats in the white house only needed one more vote and we think that that is there, at least one more vote. so we believe at the end of this vote, which has approximately ten minutes left, chuck hagel will -- the way will be cleared for him to be secretary of defense. unclear if they'll have a final vote today or wait until tomorrow. but we're watching this to see exactly how it goes down. but one thing we did hear before this started was the republicans who are ardently opposed to him say that even if he is nominated, which i think he will be, he will be too battered and bruised to be an effective secretary of defense. they did one last at least public ask of the president to withdraw his nomination, which of course we knew was not going to happen. >> dana, keep us posted when this will become official. >>> italians went to the polls
